Title:
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR OPTIMAL DECELERATION OF A VEHICLE USING REGENERATIVE BRAKING
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/055850
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A regenerative braking system for a vehicle. The system includes at least one detecting device or sensor, and an electronic control unit having a processor and a computer readable medium. The at least one sensor detects information about at least one target object located ahead of the vehicle. The electronic control unit receives information about the target object. The electronic control unit also receives information about a velocity of the vehicle, determines a velocity of the target object based on the information from the sensor, determines a maximum deceleration of the vehicle that can be reached by the regenerative braking system without applying physical brakes of the vehicle, and determines an optimal braking point to begin maximum regenerative braking. The optimal braking point is a point at which maximum regenerative braking can sufficiently slow the vehicle before reaching the target object without applying the physical brakes of the vehicle.
